The way this forum has been crying its like we are in the relegation zone

3rd is good and we can finish here with a win on Sunday.

It’s true, just reading this thread title made me feel a little guilty for my mood and criticisms after today’s game. In all reality; we are third, nobody has any game in hand on us, and it has been a phenomenal 2020 effort to claw ourselves back into this position. We have showed title-contending form for a few months now, and the squad is pushed to the limit, but we should feel proud of all of them.

Forget today. It’s one game against a heavily under strength & out of form Leicester. Go for the throat & put them away.

Aren't we on the lowest PL points we ever done? I maybe mistaken, but if so.... Crazy

reminds me of that time Spurs finished 3rd in a 2-horse race
Nah. We’ve never been even close to top 2 at all.

given all the doom and gloom pre season, the disastrous first half of season, and staying in 5th despite going on an 18 match unbeaten run, 3rd is a great feeling!!!

Some seem to have forgotten that a win or draw guarantees us CL football.

In our hands, all we can ask for.

Think Ole has run our chaps into the ground and just pray we have an inspired effort left. Come on!

Weakest the league was in a long time.

For example, Liverpool in 07/08 finished 4-th with 76 points, while three teams had more than 80 points.

Usually find your posts too critical @Rozay so bravo for taking this perspective

Small steps, 3rd place isn’t too shabby all things considered. 2nd best league finish in the post-SAF era.

Its actually pretty incredible considering how far we were away from the top four at one stage.

If we win on the weekend, then we secure third place?

Big if..we look like we're almost done in terms of fitness. It will be a massive test of character. Hopefully the likes of Bruno and Maguire can drag us through. We desperately need to start strong and get an early goal.

There were 16 points between 10th and 5th in 07/08. There's 9 currently, good chance of it being less come Sunday.

Not a weak league actually the opposite, there more than just a top 4 now. It's more a top 6 or 7.

City and Liverpool have simply been better than everybody else and that already looks to be potentially ending.

Leaped two places after one of our shittest performances since the turn of the year. Football is weird.
It's mental. I still feel a bit downbeat but this is probably our highest place in the league since the first game.
